Withdrawal from Classes
Policy:
After
the last day for class changes has passed (see College calendar), students may
withdraw from a course in which they are registered with permission from the
faculty member conducting the course. A written request detailing the reason(s)
for the withdrawal must be filed with the Registrar. Written request for
withdrawal must be received by the Registrar by the last day of classes prior
to the final examination dates specified in the catalogue. Written requests may
be mailed to the Registrar or faxed to the College fax number 219-473-4259.
Students are to make note of the refund schedule when withdrawing from courses.
The request is forwarded to the faculty member, who makes the final determination
to accept or deny the request. If the request is honored, the student will
receive notification of official withdrawal; if denied, the notification will
indicate why the withdrawal is disallowed. Note: Degree Completion Division
(DCD) students should consult the DCD Student Handbook for information on DCD
withdrawals.
An
official withdrawal is recorded as a "W" grade on the student's
transcript. Dropping a
course
without written permission automatically incurs an "F" grade for the
course (see
Refund
Schedule).
Class Policy on Attendance:
Try to attend every schedule class. If for some reason you cannot, it is the student’s responsibility to arrange some means of covering the missed material. During the course of the lectures, schedule and test time adjustments may be made to better correspond with the lecture material covered. If the student is absent during such an adjustment, it is the student’s responsibility to become aware of such adjustments.
If you have a work schedule change during the course of the term the instructor will attempt to work out an alternate schedule, if at all possible, so you may continue with class.
Class Policy For
Assignments:
ALL!!!!!!!!! INCOMPLETE material is the student’s responsibility
to complete! If all required material is NOT
completed by the end of the term a letter grade of "F" will be given
unless prior arrangements have been made, by the student, one week before the
terms end.
Course Objectives:
The basic goal and objective set of this department endeavors to change your world in a positive context. We will achieve this by adding to your knowledge base and then showing you the new world that can be perceived with this freshly acquired knowledge. It goes without saying that you are what you know, when what you know changes what you see changes, and when what you see changes your world changes. In keeping with this, the course will present material that will provide a set of knowledge based tools that may be applicable in the work place as well as the classroom.
This cognitive experience is in keeping with the theories and
concepts of object orientated computer programming and systems logic.
Students in this course will gain insight into the fundamentals of:
Ø The Visual Basic User Interface
Ø Object Orientated Logic
Ø Applications program design
